;) thanks guys that fish is very close to 9" i bought it for 20$ at a lfs got 2 of them the first one they said it was an african cichlid the second time they said it was red tilapia but i knew better and bought em ;)

awesome i ordered a flowerhorn that looked completely different when it was young and has changed to completely orange like this one, i read on the flowerhorn forum that it could be a throw back from using midas cichlids in the mixture
